France is considering deploying troops to Greenland in response to US President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks about acquiring the Arctic island, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Tuesday.

Barrot confirmed that France discussed the issue with Denmark but stressed there are no immediate plans for action.

“At this point, it is not Denmark’s wish,” Barrot said in an interview with Sud Radio, adding that Europe would act if security interests were threatened.

The comments come as Denmark seeks European support to counter Trump’s growing interest in Greenland. Trump has cited the island’s natural resources and strategic value, stating, “I think we’re going to have it.”

Hopefully only those French and Danish cities with large civilian populations will get nuked.

The French Army has a fantastic record fighting in cold weather like Russia, similar to Greenland! Oh wait....

The French? Really? Well, at least their flags will match the color of the snow up there.

Panama Canal - YES, America has legitimate interest since we built the damned thing.

Greenland - NO, America has no legitimate right to force a takeover.

Why are Paris streets lined with trees?
Because Germans prefer to march in the shade.

Go ahead idiots. Stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. FAFO!!

[dfwgator]

I wonder if Greenpeace has any ships docked in Greenland?

[Jonty30]

Europeans can’t afford to maintain much of a base, beyond a symbolic one, so this comes across to me as if they are simply running interference in order to allow China access.

For Sale: One near new French military rifle. Only dropped once.
